Evesham Vintage Rally, YOUR WW2 CAMP NEEDS YOU, August 8-10

[Papav66]

It's a family show with a large military presence which includes a mix of steam engines, both full size & miniature, vintage & classic cars, motorbikes, commercials, agricultural bygones, trade stalls along with a decent sized arena. There is also a beer tent, refreshments and entertainment.

 

We are unique in that we are the only MVT area to now have four genuine restored WW2 Nissen Huts, one complete with piano and pot bellied stove, so if its chilly out you can still have a cosy night in. The Nissen Huts form part of Ashdown Camp which comprises:

 

• No. 1 Nissen Hut with British memorabilia

• No. 2 Nissen Hut, U.S. Army Hospital*

• No. 3 Nissen Hut, Motor Pool & German Quarters*

• No. 4 Nissen Hut, for re-enactors/displays (currently under construction)*

• Anderson air raid shelter

• Barb-wire entanglement

• Earthbund walls

• Guard hut*

• Midland Warplane Museum Displays on loan*

• Radio shack

• Replica German pillbox

• Searchlights 90cm x2 (currently under renovation)*

• Sentry posts with barriers

• Stanton Air raid shelter*

• ‘The Cooler’ an ex-British Waterways Diglis Locks WW2 guard shelter*
